I forgot the analogy that it took something like 500 years for somebody to put wheels on a suitcase, and then it took like 40 years for someone to realize you could put two more.

All he has to do is box Putin in, force him out of Crimea and all of Ukraine, and negotiate peace between Israel warring with a nation that doesn't have nuclear capacity and another people that essentially have rocks.

Back in the day, when you would go to someone's home for a date or to hang out, you would walk in & see where the needle was on the record, & how long it had been playing. You knew they were either appreciating music on their own for a certain time, or they just put it on for you. Hard to describe.

The "prehistoric" conversation was likely maddening: "Hey you know how 'history' encompasses everything before now?" "Yeah. Why?" "It's actually not all of history". "What? What's before history?" "Well, there's a prehistory, and before prehistoric... a historic big bang". "Gary you're drunk."

Police are allowed to lie and murder legally. You need to understand that you don't ever talk to them ever, for any reason, ever.

The chapter of RFK’s most recent book - that he wrote to defend his belief that COVID was actually a weapon designed to target white people and spare certain groups like Jewish people - in which he talks about how he does not believe germs actually cause disease is called “The White Man’s Burden.”

It's wild to end up 48 years old and realize it's Julie that is the main character of the first Clive Barker Hellraiser, not Kirsty.

Reddit convo re: Alan Watts. Of course there is healing, growth and self-awareness, but this is lovely: "The breakthrough comes from realizing that you are already perfect and whole. Once you get that, there’s nothing to do and nowhere to go. I find that going to nature really brings this home."

Take the mysticism out of marketing & prevent bubbles. It took about 15 years for networked storage to be called "the Cloud" but it wasn't marketed for about 25 years. It is WILD we've not learned lessons, and we're allowing the term "artificial intelligence" be used for "large language models".

What an obscenely terrible headline. I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted. The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

People LOVE revenge films, and people love Kung Fu, and the 1980s. So do a reboot of a Gymkata crossed with feminist revenge with "I Split on Your Grave" and it's all badass ninja revenge.

How about a "Literal Idiom" Festival with party poopers and shooting fish in a barrel, etc? I actually do want to create some more joy in the world. Coopers are losing work with interest in wine waning, so putting those barrels to good use for some messy fun? America loves guns and gore and poop.
